The full text from the above metaphor: As I have been reading and learning about UDL, I really started to think about how map reading has been improved over the last 25 years. I can remember when my husband and I were first going on adventures together and I was named the "nava-guesser". Our goal was to get to Point B. We studied the map, planned the route and I was to keep us on track. I didn't always manage to meet that outcome. We would often have to pull over so that my husband could check the map again, me being disoriented and prone to carsickness (and also an anxious driver, hence the passenger role). About 20 years ago we took a trip to Europe. We rented a car in Paris and wanted to get to Neuchatel, Switzerland where a friend was living. We arrived in Paris late at night and travelled through the night to get to Switzerland. This time, we were using the most up to date map technology and had printed our directions from "MapQuest". Hooray, now I didn't have to read a map in a foreign land while jet lagged! We had one tiny problem at a roundabout in rural France but were able to backtrack when our next direction didn't make sense and were on our way again quite quickly. Fast forward another ten years and I received my first navigation system for the car. To this day this has been one of the best gifts that I have ever received. Now I feel more confident as a driver, I don't have to struggle to decode maps, and I also don't have to fight carsickness and the "nava-guesser". A game changer for sure. "Essential for some, good for all."
